Our guest has 35 years in sports science, is one of the most respected names in UK fitness, and has spent her career backing everything she says with evidence, most recently training doctors on what they should actually be telling midlife women about exercise. Today we spill the tea with Jane Wake on the truth about strength training, protein, collagen, and separating what’s real from what’s just noise. Whether you’re in perimenopause, menopause or beyond, this one is for you. In this episode, we ask Jane: What’s the worst myth about strength training you keep hearing, even from so-called experts? Where is most of this misinformation coming from? How do you tell the difference between solid evidence and a wellness trend? What does the evidence actually say about strength training and menopause, bones, muscle and hormones? How much do we really need to do, and how often, to make a difference? Is there such a thing as “too late to start”? Are there any risks people should be aware of? Protein is a buzzword right now. What’s the truth about protein needs for women in midlife, and are most of us eating enough? Collagen: worth the hype, or just another wellness trend? Which other supplements or claims would you like to bust? If someone has never picked up a weight, where should they start? Can strength training be worked into things we’re already doing, rather than being “one more thing” on the list? What’s one thing you wish every midlife woman knew about her body right now? We also catch up on our busy week, including Jinty going to the Frida Kahlo exhibition. Stick around for some beautiful inspiration to carry you through the week. ☕ SUBSCRIBE for honest chats on women’s health, feminist issues, sisterhood & smashing the patriarchy, one cuppa at a time. 💛 Enjoying the podcast?
